"We are at an odd moment in history. There is more organized concern for animals than ever before, and we see more markers of progress in the realms of legislative advocacy, corporate reform, and public awareness. Yet, at the same time, there is more exploitation of other creatures, particularly in the realms of factory farming and the wildlife trade."—Wayne Pacelle

As the theme of this year's Annual Report—"Rescue, Reform, Results"—indicates, our work at The HSUS focuses on results. We do not seek merely to be part of the debate, but rather to drive the debate and to achieve tangible advances for animals. We won't relent in the fight, and we hope you'll stick with us as we strive to create a truly humane society.
